Defenders of Riga
2007, Latvian. Directed by Aigars Grauba.
The film dramatizes November 11, 1919- a crucial date in the battle for Latvian independence.

Latvian riflemen, most of them inexperienced volunteers, somehow managed to defeat a larger, better-armed force of German and Russian mercenaries.
